While it is a long way from perfect, I'm happy with what MC does. I think part of their problem is that they are ahead of the curve in concept, but behind it in execution. Meaning a lot of the key things that MC does are ahead of the times for the mass market. Not in terms of price but in terms of people having the vision to want something like what MC does. When it comes to enthusiests and the things they want, it's behind the times.

With that said, I certainly don't see this as "make it or break it" for the product, as another poster said. Microsoft rarely throws in the towel this quickly and as long as they stick with the product, keep gathering support and keep evolving it, they will be in perfect position to be the defacto standard for media center setups when the mass public is ready to catch on.

I do wish cablecard support was easier, but that's not really their fault.
